I am getting back into model railroading after a 10 year break (life got too busy) and am in the planning stages of new layout. I have a few questions: (1) What is the minimum recommended track radius for N scale? (I will be running larger, passenger trains, along with freight) Some of the track will be hidden and in a helix. I assume the radii may be smaller in these areas??? (2) Can anyone recommend a site where I can educate myself on track types and "codes", turn-out codes, etc.? I want to be sure that I start with all the right track. (3) Any recommendations on layout software? (user-friendly. this will not be a large layout.) Thanks.
